In response to ""During baseball's "modern era", defined by Major League Baseball as beginning in 1900, sixteen more pitchers have thrown perfect games."" by TFox

he's questioning why we'd draw the line there.

the rules did mostly stabilize a bit before 1900, but it's convenient, and the AL was founded then.

Responses:

"In 1884, overhand pitching was legalized." That would be one reason why a perfect game in 1880 would be a little different. - TFox Jul 23, 13:29 1
- In 1887, they outlawed punching the batter in the face. -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 13:32
